#Musk & #Bezos Declare The National #Labor Relations Board Unconstitutional

They tried it before, but now they're doing it as a team.

#ElonMusk & #JeffBezos filed a lawsuit in the US #5thCircuit Court of Appeals to rule that the National Relations Board is unconstitutional.

The #FifthCircuit Court of Appeals is under the aegis of #SCOTUS Justice Samuel #Alito.

Yeah... 66F in Northern West Virginia on November 20th.

The locals, all Trump supporters say, "Yeah. this happens every year."

Uh, excuse me, but, uh, no it doesn't. No it didn't. It didn't when I lived here 20 years ago. It didn't when you grew up here 70 years ago. You've never seen anything like this, yet you bury it and go with the "narrative". Climate change is a hoax.

They are SO deluded that they alter their memory of reality to match the narrative they've been brainwashed to believe. It's incredible to see, and a real education into human nature and how flawed many of us are.

No wonder Hitler had so many followers. No wonder "Reverend" Jim Jones managed to massacre 900 people, including people killing hundreds of their own children. Humans have some SERIOUS and very disturbing flaws when it comes to cult leaders.

Yes, climate change is a hoax. 60 degrees on Thanksgiving is "perfectly normal". (Not that I like the cold. Some do. I don't. But this is NOT normal and is very disturbing. The "damn it's cold" moment should have occurred a month ago. It still hasn't occurred.)

A month ago is when I should have had to bundle up to run an errand at midnight. But no need for that tonight. T-shirt and a ballcap is fine. On November 20th. In Northern West Virginia.

⚠️“Tom's of Maine toothpaste was manufactured with water containing bacteria, while a "black mold-like substance" was found in a factory where the product was made, according to a warning letter from FDA

The Nov 5 letter stated that Tom's Simply White Clean Mint toothpaste contained Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a germ that can cause infections in the blood and lungs, the FDA letter said. “

House Republicans have introduced a bill targeting one person in the entire United States: their new colleague, Rep. Sarah McBride (D-Delaware). It would require her to use the men’s bathroom at the Capitol.

This is how they govern.

Spectrum Internet service in West Virginia sucks. They sucked 18 years ago when it was Time-Warner and they still suck.

During the 2010s I was on Frontier DSL. It was fine but I needed more speed and I knew more would never come because I was at the maximum distance from the CO. They were even nice enough to hook up two line cards in parallel and four wires to give me good service. No complaints given the technology of the time.

In 2019 I decided to switch to Spectrum and got their fastest service, 40 Mbps. For a couple of years it was okay. Then they switched me up to 80 Mbps at no increase in cost. Great. It actually delivered 65 to 75. No complaints.

Then, about 18 months ago, the service started to degrade. It got slower, but more importantly it began to have service interruptions. It would just stop for 1 to 2 minutes with no throughput. Then start up again until the next interruption. I thought maybe it was my setup here. Rebooting the router didn't seem to have any effect on the interruptions.

Recently I was speaking with a friend here who lives about ten blocks away, also on Spectrum, and she said "Spectrum service is terrible. I have security cameras and there are 1 to 2 minute long gaps where there's nothing. Terrible." Then I knew it wasn't just me.

So now I'm looking at Frontier again. In the meantime, Frontier has been going full speed installing fiber. They installed fiber in my neighborhood about six months ago. My workplace, which is 3 blocks away, has been looking for a better solution. Their DSL is getting worse and worse and when it's out, the credit card machine doesn't work. Not okay. It's a huge headache. So they decided to try Frontier fiber. I thought okay, this is a good test of whether I'll get fiber at my home.

So far it's been solid at work. Not only that, I finally gave it a test tonight. Oh, my goodness, it's quick. They went for the cheapest, slowest service. Yet I did a 265 megabyte download in 5.3 seconds tonight. That's scary fast. I like it. I think I'm going to do it.

This is an experiment. Please boost.

mastoddosnt.ddns.net/

Here's the idea: This post is going first to my followers, then, if they boost it, to other people. This domain has been registered for only this experiment. I should see in my web server's logs when mastodon instances start crawling the site for info. Then maybe also some curious humans.

I just want to play with my monitoring a bit :)

The wrecker has emboldened misogynists to provocatively shout their contempt for women and demand for power over them. Some of them will act this out violently. We must expect to see an increase in rape.

💬 "In a resolution adopted on Thursday, the EU Parliament calls for more targeted sanctions against russia’s ʼshadow fleet‘ which allows the country to export crude oil and petroleum products despite the price cap

Stressing that the impact of existing sanctions and the financial and military support to #Ukraine will continue to be undermined as long as the EU imports russian fossil fuels, MEPs urge the EU, its member states to ban all imports of russian fossil fuels including #LNG"

Posting something like "I sure am glad I don't live in the US because I don't have to worry about x, y, and z happening" has the same energy as saying to someone whose loved one just died, "I sure am glad MY loved ones haven't died because if they did here are the things I'd be sad and upset about."

What is your baseline estimate for the population of Ruschia? 83m is the last reliable figure we have from the last reliable census. Ruschia’s emphasis on forcibly transferring 700,000 Ukrainian children into Ruschia suggests its personnel problems are a lot greater than most commentators understand

Don't be deceived. RFK doesn't care about corporate greed. He only attacks the pharma industry because he wants to make it easier to hawk dubious supplements and products from a wellness industry that is already worth trillions and is regulated far less than vaccines and drugs.
